Directions

Separate the stems and the florets from the broccoli. Trim and discard the bottom of the broccoli stems and peel the tough outer layers. Finely chop the stems and coarsely chop the florets and set aside separately

Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat

Add the broccoli stems, onions and potatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes

Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes

Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the vegetables are tender (12 to 15 minutes)

Combine the reserved florets and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and continue to steam until the florets are bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes

Add the entire contents of the pot with the florets to the soup along with the nutmeg. Stir to combine and remove from the heat

Stir in the Cheddar, Worcestershire and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the scallions.

* Important tip: Reheat leftover soup in the microwave, not on the stove, or the cheese will “break” or separate from the broth*

With only 15 minutes of prep and 25 minutes in the oven, this recipe is easy as can be! There’s no reason not to enjoy your favorites now that they can be “healthified”.
